Good Wine Punch

While wine itself is plenty to go around at a party, sometimes you want a little something more… like wine punch! One of my favorite ways to drink wine in the winter is in the “mulled” style. Mulled wine, called “glogg” in the Nordic countries, is often associated with winter due to it being warm and spiced.

It’s a great way to make a bottle go a bit further – serve it like “punch” and don’t worry about having to open more bottles! That said, don’t use too cheap of a bottle as bad wine will not make good mulled wine.

Put the first 4 ingredients into a mesh bag or tie it into a cheesecloth.

In a non-reactive pot, add remainder of ingredients, including the bag of seasonings. Bring to almost a boil, then let simmer at just under a boil for about 10 minutes. You should taste and adjust sugar or water to your desired tastes. Serve into mugs and drink warm. Serve with cinnamon sticks!
